Immortality Through Array Formations

Chapter 2847: Chapter 139: Transference of Cause and Effect

Cause and Effect Transference...

These four words, for some reason, made Mo Hua’s heart tremble.

Ancestor Shugu then explained to Mo Hua one by one:

”Cause and Effect Curse Killing is about finding the life line and death line from another’s cause and effect line, severing their life line, manipulating their death line, extinguishing their vitality, thereby leading them to destruction.”

”Cause and Effect Divination involves using specific artifacts and spell points to explore a person, a matter, or an object’s past cause and effect line, or extrapolate its cause and effect trajectory in the future.”

”Cause and Effect Defense is about condensing one’s own cause and effect line to form a cause and effect barrier, preventing others’ prying and attacks.”

”Cause and Effect Fate Alteration is grasping one’s destiny, relying on strong spell points, unyielding telekinesis, steadfast determination, extraordinary perseverance, unifying knowledge and action to forge great karma, forcibly twisting one’s cause and effect line, redirecting their entire life’s cause and effect to another fate, hence called fate alteration.”

”Cause and Effect Avoidance is deliberately avoiding certain external dangerous cause and effect lines, or concealing, hiding, or sealing certain key cause and effect lines of one’s own.”

”And Cause and Effect Transference...”

Ancestor Shugu spoke solemnly, ”it’s transferring one’s own cause and effect onto other people, or objects. It can be used to transfer good fortune for blessings or misfortune to... avert disaster.”

Cause and Effect Transference... transferring misfortune to avert disaster?

Mo Hua’s heart suddenly skipped.

He only felt that this cause and effect skill was immensely significant, even his life chart began to tremble.

Mo Hua couldn’t help but ask Ancestor Shugu, ”Do you know the skill of Cause and Effect Transference?”

Ancestor Shugu shook his head, ”I do not.”

Mo Hua was quite disappointed, frowned and said: ”Isn’t this your own insight? If you don’t know it, where’s the insight coming from?”

Ancestor Shugu said, ”Even if I haven’t eaten pork, I’ve seen pigs run. This is old me’s observation of the Shugubu’s successive ancestors’ records on cause and effect technique, combined with my own pondering.”

Even if I haven’t eaten pork, I’ve seen pigs run... You mean to say you think your Shugubu ancestors are all ”pigs”...

Mo Hua silently ridiculed in his heart.

But such words seemed somewhat impolite, so Mo Hua very politely did not say them aloud.

Ancestor Shugu sighed with reverence and said:

”The skill of cause and effect is vast and profound, an ordinary cultivator may spend a lifetime analyzing one or two subjects deeply, which is already quite admirable, but it’s impossible to achieve all-knowing and all-understanding.”

”I am most skilled in ’Cause and Effect Curse Killing’ and ’Cause and Effect Avoidance’, other aspects I merely know the gist...”

Mo Hua asked doubtfully, ”Are you genuinely skilled in ’Cause and Effect Avoidance’?”

You haven’t even avoided me, yet you can claim to be skilled?

Ancestor Shugu felt a bit choked up and could only say, ”I can only avoid some... avoidable cause and effect. Some matters, are truly destiny, unavoidable.”

Mo Hua pondered for a moment, then suddenly his eyes lit up, and he asked:

”Suppose, I mean hypothetically... someone wants to hunt me down, suppose that person is you, how can I avoid your pursuit?”

Ancestor Shugu hurriedly said, ”I wouldn’t dare...”

Mo Hua said sternly, ”If I make you dare, you dare.”

Ancestor Shugu helplessly had to consider according to Mo Hua’s idea, after deliberation said:

”If I were to chase the Taoist friend, what the Taoist friend should do is hide all their cause and effect lines, so I can’t grasp a clue.”

Mo Hua asked, ”More specifically?”

Ancestor Shugu said, ”The Taoist friend’s real name, birth details, place of origin, spiritual root quality, who are their masters, who are the closest relations, who are their Tao companions, what is their pursued Dao path, what cultivation technique, Taoist skill, and even all Daoist cultivation methods... Such matters all contain cause and effect, someone with intent can find a cause and effect line to harm the Taoist friend.”

”And among these, the most fatal is the inheritance and Taoist foundation, they must not be easily disclosed.”

Mo Hua was slightly surprised, ”The most fatal is not the birth details?”

Ancestor Shugu shook his head, ”That’s the view of those unaware of cause and effect. Birth details, what’s the connection? If knowing birth details alone could curse someone to death, then killing would be far too easy.”

”Cause and effect is not truly mysticism, it concerns facts.”

”Low-level realm individuals are different, like floating weeds, significantly influenced by their own birth life chart, but the higher the cultivator’s realm, the stronger their personal power, the stronger the cause and effect power, the less restricted by birth details.”

”And in a cultivator’s lifetime, the strongest cause and effect is their cultivation, along with all cultivation techniques, Taoist skills, and even Dan formation talismans and other spell points derived from it.”

”The higher the cultivation realm, the stronger the power, the stronger the power of cause and effect.”

”For those seeking the Dao, the cultivator’s Taoist foundation is the greatest cause and effect, more important than any cause and effect.”

”Therefore, the roots of one’s cultivation technique, the specifics of Taoist skills, the strengths and weaknesses of all inheritance must not be lightly shown to others. Otherwise, once a skilled person in cause and effect discovers flaws and loopholes in your Dao foundation, seizes the key cause and effect line, you are in danger.”

Mo Hua’s heart was filled with apprehension, he nodded.

In short, it’s about ”hiding one’s light and nurturing one’s spirit.”

Not revealing one’s trump card to others, nor acting impulsively to show off one’s true strength easily.

Previously, although I’ve been doing this, it was following the teachings of my master.

It seems that these actions have deeper explanations in terms of cause and effect too.

It makes sense, the more exposed, the greater the danger.

Knowing real names is still fine, but once information like place of origin, parents and relatives, Tao companions, masters, fellow disciples and such relationships are known, then there will be the possibility of being harmed.

These aren’t even the most fatal.

Once all of one’s cultivation and inheritance is thoroughly understood by someone, then others can use cause and effect to plot against and kill me, it becomes very simple.
